The History of Love

Truth be told, I’m not sure I really understand this cover on an intellectual level. I originally assumed that the book dealt with a romance that was askew. Which would explain a typically romantic scene being turned on its head.

The book synopsis doesn’t really support this theory.

Regardless, I think it does a wonderful job of communicating on a visceral level. It gives off a feeling of loss and romance and tragedy simultaneously.

No small task.

I love this cover!

Even the back cover jacket is handled well. Especially with all the copy.

I feel a burden lifted off my shoulders. I have been trying to figure out this book cover for some time now.

I believe the message is suppose to be simple and clear as you said. Loss, romance and tragedy.

I do like the font but the picture doesn’t make me want to read it.
